Invincible armor is totally old school kung-fu action film, but seems to attract many loyal fans. The title invincible armor comes from the main antagonist being a master of hard chi-kung can transform his body into indestructible armor (there are many martial artists who still practice this style in China. They demonstrate this by bending a spear with its tip on their throat). The protagonist practice one style that can penetrate this armor, but there's a twist. Body must be struck in certain sequence in order to defeat the armor. In this sense, the antagonist is bit like Bai Mei in the Executioners from Shaolin. The old school part is that one fight scene follows another with little or no story going. Why they have to fight so much, I have no idea. Then it comes to the final show down, and ouch ! the end happens in a very painful way. You have to see it to appreciate it.I would have like to seen more story than fighting, but that's my preference. It's a classic kung- fu movie format, and is one of the better produced movie of its kind. See it for the fight scenes.

The 'script' is hilarious. The kicking is awesome. All the men with beards look the same. The love interest is a bit of a minger, and her brother appears to be retarded.This is by far my favourite kung fu film, and I believe was also sounded endorsed by Quentin Tarantino when he was doing the rounds for Kill Bill 2.You will laugh, you will go 'oooooh' you will clasp your face with agony at the dire dubbing and acting and YOU WILL ENJOY THIS.Also, it has a man defeated by an 'iron finger' attack _down there_ if you know what I mean. Nice.

This is my favourite 70's Kung Fu-movie. Hwang Jang Lee might not get to kick around as he could have, but who cares? The fights are so well choreographed, that you are going to love it. The soundtrack is wonderful. As a sidenote, I should mention, that it has been borrowed (or rather said stolen) from an Italo Western called "I Giorni dell´Ira" starring Lee Van Cleef and Giuliano Gemma. Every self-respecting Ng See Yuen-fan should have watched that movie.

hwang yang yee plays three parts in this film, and is put up against another of the kung fu film industries best kickers, john liu. the film is noteable for having a plot (other than 'oi you, didnt you kill my brother') but the scenes are only good when liu is doling out punishment to assorted bystanders. nevertheless, this is one of the few kung fu flicks i would recommend to non-afficionados.
